Innovation trip to Detroit, 7 years ago: me driving a car from the backseat, testing EV prototypes on a runway, reviewing a Tesla teardown, and a @niedermeyer.online (article) sighting! All related to my work building autonomous and electric RVs.
Article excerpt mounted on a poster board at Munro & Associates entitled "Innovation Strikes! In-Car Microwave Now Available" by Edward Niedermeyer Stripped down Tesla chassis with hand writing on the metal frame that reads "Too Many Parts". Silver compact car with green and blue decals and Protean In-Wheel Electric Motor labels parked on a runway in front of an old airport terminal. Photo of me, in a blue jacket and smiling while holding a joystick controller in the backseat of a mini-van.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

Bleach might be my second choice, but this one literally can't be duplicated:

Open faced avocado sandwiches, with fresh tomatoes from our garden. One of my all-time favourite comfort foods. Just don't call it avocado toast.
Six toasted open faced buns on an aluminum baking sheet with Monterey jack cheese melted over tomatoes and avocado, with additional sliced avocado and paprika on top.

Another beautiful sunset at Canada's most beautiful campus @westernu.bsky.social. My photos don't do it justice but I saw at least 10 other people taking photos so better ones certainly exist! #ldnont #westernu #onpse #canpse
Snow covered "concrete beach" at Western University with a bare tree and fencing in the foreground and collegiate gothic buildings in the background, including the University's tower reflecting the setting sun. A selfie of me, smiling, with snow and campus buildings in the background including the University's tower reflecting the setting sun. A view of the University Community Centre and the Social Science Building with the University's tower in the reflection of a window in turn reflecting the setting sun.
